Shoveling bullshit day in and day out is a tough job, cut the man some slack. He may in fact be the hardest working man in S.C. government.

Greg Ryberg, this guy…there must have been too much radiation exposure in Aiken County.

Ryberg, who married rich, sold beer, rubbers, and wrapping papers in video poker dens called connivence stores? That Ryberg? Naw man, he is as honest as the day is long. Really, just ask him.
And lets not even start on his daughter, a little politico of her own in my dear Greenville. She got 7 million dollars from venture capitalist (that were friends of her old mans and of the SC Investment Commission) and broke the business in less than 3 years.
Yea, radiation is as good an answer as any.
Wait, didn’t Ryberg sell his business to venture capitalist too? Hmmm.

Best thing ever happened to Aiken was Ryberg leaving the Senate. He was a tyrant.

And a Peeler suck up!
But, he will tell younhow honest, ethical moral and forthright he is.
He was much too close to the unethical, immoral and self serfserving Peelers.

Cockroach Smith – a legend, a honest to God legend

His ability to scurry sideways and backwards simultaneously while giving the impression of going forward is what legends are made of

My initial recommendation for replacement would be that Cockroach Goldfinch fella over on the Coast. Dude has already racked up an indictment, a lawsuit involving multiple States, millions of someone else’s money allegecd to be involved and the Cockroach hasn’t even served a full term.

In the annals of Cockroaching he is a stud

That’s a distinguished accomplishment to crown any legislative career: Ethics chairman for South Carolina. It’s difficult to even type it with a straight face!

They are all in for the money. The hell with serving the public. I predict next year Guv Haley will turn lesbian and pistol whip her opponents during the debates. Glenn McConnell will wear a hairpiece from the cadaver of a man who was denied Medicaid by Haley and died without health insurance. Andre Bauer will make headlines after being arrested for anal sex with a dog in Dupont Circle up in DC at 2 a.m. Bobby Harrell will poison the next ethics chairman with drugs from his pharma connections after being convicted on conflict of interest charges. Lindsey, Sanford, and Will Folks will get drunk and have a threesome in one of those train cars at the stadium.

Livin’ high on the taxpayers. Making money off political conflict.

Poor Roland is not very smart or articulate.
He has shown no leadership as chairman of rhe House Ethics panel and needs to go.
Often we find those replacing incompetence are just as incompetence or unethical, as those they replace. A case in point Brian White replacing Dan Cooper. Cooper replcing Harrell and if Harvfey peeler were to replace the incompent, self serving Rhino Leathermn.
Thr problem is we are rife with failed leaders, incompetence, immorality and grossly unethical elected officials in this State and Country.

That position is a waste of taxpayer money. There aren’t any ethics in South Carolina, and it would cost too much to get some.

I just will be happy when hypocritical SC politicians finally pass some meaningful ethics reform.
